Can someone explain exactly what was so bizarre about what he said? That's a genuine question. I know someone mentioned he talked about sushi, which is definitely weird gto gen the circumstances, but did he go on about anything else?
He basically told a story of him and his brother eating "THOUSANDS" of dollars worth of sushi 1 night. And he just keeps talking over and over about his brother's love of casinos and how much money him and his brother has and they're wealthy, and the casinos comp his brother everything, and on and on.

The video of the brother talking from yesterday is spooky. Some definite inconsistencies with how he spoke and his descriptions yesterday. It also looks like he wants to shed some light on the hotels and thinks that they know more than they're letting on.

You just have to watch it. I do believe for the most part that it's the ramblings of someone who is shellshocked over the whole thing. But the picture he paints of his brother, his relationship with his brother, their family life, etc. and the way he rambles on about the money and the Marilou aspect is just bizarre.

I think if this dude were interviewed for anything or if you just happened to talk to him without all of this that is swirling around him, you'd probably still find him to be bizarre or weird.

His leg is under the gun in the picture, the gun is mounted to a bipod that is extended and upright, he would have had to have been sitting on the floor, legs stretched out under the gun when he ended it
Or he could had been holding the gun with his left hand, nozzle down, in case anyone came in while he was writing his note. He got done writing and ended it with the pistol

I just don't see this. I just think he is your average, run of the mill, weirdm and socially awkward guy. But nothing he is saying or doing is jumping out to me like "oh I know something."
I agree. Add to socially awkward that he is incredibly stressed out, likely not sleeping, probably pounding coffee, and has the media harassing him.
Certainly not a cool cat, but nothing at all seems to be suspicious to me.

His brother lives in Orlando. Admits to not speaking with him much, and when they do it's about money and the perception that the shooter has done well financially. All he's trying to say is this guy didn't have money problems. And to someone, like the brother in Orlando, that doesn't have as much...he's going to remember these things as important.

My wife and I talked of this last night. He looks like the comedic actor...Chris something. but yeah, he just rambles and just weird. I questioned why he was not under wraps and being grilled extensively. Maybe he has but you would think the LEO would have told him to shut up.
Louis CK is the comedian you're referencing. Rest assured this man was already grilled extensively. Feds were at his door immediately. Why would LEO want him to shut up? "If" he knew something (which I don't believe he does), then let me talk away...maybe he'll slip up.

I don't think the way he talks is suspicious. I just think the way he talks and the things he says are bizarre.
In other words, he doesn't strike me as suspicious. Just so strange. Makes me wonder how strange Stephen was on a regular basis.

Why would you doubt that?
Because it's been reported that he was gambling with 100K+ a day and people generally don't walk around with that much cash.
Also, when you cash out with that much in chips the casino will cut you a check.

Definitely agree his brother is weird dude even before all this. But all the stories about the money and casinos seem him trying to illustrate that this came out of no where and that he was a self reliant old school guy who was the bread winner of the people in his life

I would just like to know how he apparently accumulated so much money between the end of the 1980s when his employment with Lockheed ended and today. The brother said the shooter graduated from college and it was all public record. Has anyone heard anything about that?

I'd imagine for a high roller, they just direct deposit it even. He probably just signs the tax receipt and says "put it in my account"

cool. thanks
It's definitely weird to bring up that stuff, but if I had to guess, he probably hasn't slept a whole lot the last few days, and if he really didn't know his brother was this way (which he probably didn't, otherwise I would think he would be speaking to police rather than the news) then he probably just has no idea how to process what's happening.
I'm sure he has some very strange feeling of guilt, even though he did absolutely nothing wrong, mixed with feelings of anger and sadness

I haven't heard anything about that...but around the 20 minute mark of the brother's interview, he said that Stephen treated the casino / gambling as a job; I guess insinuating that that's how he made his millions.
Posted on 10/4/17 at 10:02 am to Gnar Cat21
Totally agree. What I take from it is, if his brother is this far out (I think he's just an oddball guy in general) then how odd was Stephen? They say he was a normal guy who snapped, but clearly based on his activities, how he made his living, his relationships, etc. he obviously wasn't a regular guy. I wonder how similar in personality he was to his brother (very strange).

Lockheed severance, used to buy some properties on the cheap after savings and loan debacle.
